“Side support”? What is it? How do you spot it in the mirror?
I see this term, *side support*, in advertising and descriptions of various bras. But what does it mean? How do you know if it is important for you? How would you see it in the mirror? Are there good examples here in Bratabase?
I think I know what it means but I’d like to know other people’s opinions and thoughts

Idk, I guess Freya has "size support" bras (4-part cup) https://www.freyalingerie.com/row/en/lingerie/bras/side-support-bras/c/1013/ Also, Fantasie https://www.fantasie.com/row/en/lingerie/bras/side-support-bras/c/1012/
I guess b/c I wear Polish, I don't need side support per say? They already bring everything forward.
Side support is additional fabric at the sides of the cup near the armpit end of the underwire. It’s like a little sling of extra fabric to give more support and essentially move things forward. I’d say it’s most helpful for those with wide roots, but that’s not necessarily always the case. Some bra companies use the term “full coverage” or “full cup” to indicate that there’s more support.
Like BraOdyssey said, they’re typically a 4-part cup so there’s two vertical seams in you look inside. You may or may not be able to see it in a mirror, it depends if the seam is visible on the outside of the bra cup.
